Antarctica

Unusual Facts: Because Antarctica has very little rain it is considered a desert

Well here we are in Antarctica. Katrina (a reader and cousin) suggest that we were to have raw fish this week. Sorry Katrina but we are having ice cream. I let Angus pick the flavour and he picked raspberry. I think it will be OK if just for this week we bend the rules a little. It was absolutely delicious, I made it in my ice cream churn and the recipe was so large it over flowed.

Me: 9

Angus: 9

Dad: 8

INGREDIENTS

500g raspberries

4 tbs orange juice

175g castor sugar

450mL whipping cream

In a food processor blend the raspberries and orange juice until a smooth purée. Stir in sugar.*

Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into purée. Pour mixture into a 1kg loaf tin. Freeze for 1 1/2hrs or until partly frozen

Turn mixture into a bowl, break it up with a fork then whisk until smooth. Return mixture to tin and freeze for at least 5hrs or until completely frozen.

Transfer to refrigerator at least 30mins before serving to soften.

*If using a ice cream machine follow the recipe until the end of step 1. Place mixture in the machine, churn and freeze.
